Need custom module

Posted by topdillon on August 25, 2011 at 1:05pm

I just posted this. I want to give my local DUG members the opportunity to consider.

Next Meetup?

Posted by Brandon_ST on August 19, 2011 at 1:30pm

I hope everyone is having a great summer. Just wondering when the next meetup would be, and who we could drag in this time to speak.

Here are some things I'd like to hear someone talk about:

Using hooks
Drush
Simple Module Development
Geo Location
Mobile Development

Have a great weekend.

Has anybody had any experience with the Location module?

Posted by paulsham on July 27, 2011 at 10:06pm

Hi everyone,

I am running into some problems using Location module with Views to create a proximity search. Does anybody have experience with doing this?

I'm using the Location module 7.x-3.x-dev with Views 7.x-3.0-rc1.

I have opened an issue under Location module if you want to see a more detailed report: http://drupal.org/node/1230072

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Paul

Who in London wants to participate in some in person Drupal Training in LONDON in JUNE?

Posted by Annabella on June 6, 2011 at 8:33pm

Hello London Drupalers.

My name is Anne Stefanyk and I work with a team of Drupal Trainers to provide in person FUN Drupal Training from the West to the East coasts of Canada.

I am posting in groups to gauge interest in running Drupal training in London. We recently ran Drupal Training in Toronto and it was a hit! We actually had quite a few London folk come to the training and since reach out for more training! As we need a min number of people to run the sessions I thought I would post a note in Groups to see if we can get the min numbers to come and learn more DRUPAL.

June Meeting Plans

What day/date?
What agenda and/or tutorials should we have?

Image Slider Question

Posted by lrosete on May 16, 2011 at 5:26pm

Hello. I have some web development experience but fairly new to Drupal.
How do I create an image slider of my "Featured" Content using EasySlider 1.1.7 and Views?
I setup JQuery-EasySlider on my homepage template page--front.tpl.php and hardcoded some image links, something like below:

<?php
drupal_add_js('jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("#slider").easySlider({
auto: true,
continuous: true
});
});','inline');
?>

div id="slider">

ul>

<?php
 print $directory; 
?>

Intro to Drupal Session

Posted by AndrewEchidna on April 25, 2011 at 2:19pm

I am willing to run an intro to Drupal session in our boardroom in the near future.

Please comment on this thread if you are interested in attending -

I will then post an eventbrite event outlining a date/time that hopefully works for everyone.

feedback on my first Drupal site.

Posted by topdillon on April 20, 2011 at 2:32pm

Well I did it. I finally published my first Drupal site. I am fishing for some reassurance that it is not bad for a rookie. I am not a PHP coder, but understand it some since I can code a bit in VBA and ASP.
Roughly 160 modules (!), including Ubercart.Hosted on Hot Drupal. This is a low volume site for my in-laws family business--very niche. Yes rock gardening fanatics readily buy their plants online/mailorder and have them shipped in a box.

Learning Sessions

Posted by Brandon_ST on April 20, 2011 at 2:17am

Not sure if I speak for more of the LonDug people, but one of my favourite things is learning new things about Drupal. I think a huge benefit to this group will be the knowledge sharing aspect.

I can't remember all the sticky notes that were on the windows, but here are a few things I would like to learn from some of the more advanced users:

Module Development (the use of hooks, and some of the higher end programming required to write a custom module)
Mobile sites and applications
Site Optimization and caching for better performance

Am I ready to go live? Probably

Posted by topdillon on April 18, 2011 at 7:03pm

Hi all.

Feel free to jump in on this forum topic I just posted at http://drupal.org/node/1130990. Of course, any and all opinions appreciated.

LonDUG Community Project Ideas

Posted by dbashaw on April 17, 2011 at 6:49pm

At the LonDUG Kickstart meeting there was a lot of interest in LonDUG contributing to the broader London community with a Design/Development project of some kind. Let's use this thread to toss in some ideas about what is needed in our community and how we might build a great project that showcases and builds LonDUG member skills, helps the London non-profit community, and raises awareness of LonDUG.

Brainstorm away... Ideas of all sizes and types are welcome!

LonDUG Venues

Posted by AndrewEchidna on April 15, 2011 at 12:59am

We really need some ideas for our meeting space -

Ideally we can utilize different spaces depending on what type of meeting we are running.

Ability to have a wireless access and power for laptops is ideal.

No meetup in March...

Posted by dbashaw on March 1, 2011 at 7:25pm

Hi everyone. Martin asked me to pull together the March meet-up this Thursday, but unfortunately I won't be able to attend myself.

My gut feeling is to cancel this month's meeting, unless someone else wants to jump in with a topic, and then reboot the LonDUG for the April meeting with a fresh topic and shout-out to the membership.

Thoughts and comments on this? Keen volunteers? Alternative plans?

Cheers;

Dan

Zend Certification for Drupal Professionals

Posted by dbashaw on January 5, 2011 at 4:02pm

Hi Ontario Drupalers;

I'm considering studying up and taking the Zend PHP (ZCE) Certification courses and writing the exam, both as a way to learn PHP at a more serious level, and as a useful certification to have for career purposes. (See: http://www.zend.com/services/certification/)

Dec meeting

Posted by topdillon on December 1, 2010 at 10:51pm

Event type:

User group meeting

It's that time again! As discussed all the way back in September, our next meeting will be a discussion about ecommerce options in Drupal, particularly Ubercart but feel free to share other experiences. We'll also talk about payment processing and shipping options, as they pertain to those of us in the Great White North.

Finally, we had strong representation from the Forest City at last month's DrupalCamp Toronto, so let's have a shared download about the experience.

I hope you can make it out, it promises to be a good session!
